Black Dishwashers

Black stainless steel is the most popular black dishwasher finish because it combines the dark aesthetic with a fingerprint-resistant surface that hides smudges and daily wear better than glossy black or standard stainless steel. Accent handle options in brushed gold, champagne bronze, and polished nickel allow further customization to match surrounding hardware and fixtures.

The Trade Table carries black dishwashers from ZLINE and Forno in 18-inch and 24-inch widths with top control, front control, and panel-ready configurations.

Black Dishwashers | Black Stainless Steel, 3rd Rack & Built-In Models

Black dishwashers install as standard built-in units beneath the kitchen countertop, fitting into the same cutout as any other residential dishwasher. The only difference from stainless or white models is the exterior finish — the interior wash system, rack configuration, and cleaning performance are identical to the same model in other finishes.

ZLINE black dishwashers include the Autograph Edition series in black stainless steel with accent handles, the Tallac series with traditional handle styling, and the Monument series with top touch controls and ultra-quiet 45 dBa operation. Most ZLINE models feature a 3rd rack for utensils and small items, a stainless steel tub interior, and noise levels ranging from 45 to 52 dBa.

Forno black dishwashers include the Romano Espresso 24-inch tall tub model with top control and the Polo 18-inch compact model with front control. The 18-inch Forno is designed for narrow cabinet openings in smaller kitchens, bars, and secondary dishwashing stations where a full 24-inch unit does not fit.

Black Dishwasher FAQs

What is the difference between black and black stainless steel?

Standard black is a glossy or matte painted finish applied to the dishwasher exterior. Black stainless steel is actual stainless steel with a dark oxide coating that provides the look of black with the durability and fingerprint resistance of stainless. Black stainless steel hides smudges and fingerprints significantly better than glossy black and maintains its appearance with less frequent cleaning.

Do black dishwashers come in 18-inch widths?

Yes. The Trade Table carries the ZLINE Autograph Edition 18-inch compact dishwasher in black stainless steel and the Forno Polo 18-inch front control model. These compact units are designed for narrow cabinet openings in smaller kitchens, wet bars, butler's pantries, and secondary dishwashing stations.

How quiet are black dishwashers?

Noise levels on The Trade Table's black dishwasher lineup range from 45 to 52 dBa. The ZLINE Monument series at 45 dBa is the quietest model — comparable to a quiet library. The ZLINE Autograph and Tallac series operate at 51 dBa, and Forno models operate at 52 dBa. All models are suitable for open-concept kitchens where dishwasher noise is a consideration.

What is a 3rd rack dishwasher?

A 3rd rack is an additional shallow rack at the top of the dishwasher interior, above the standard upper and lower racks. It provides a dedicated space for utensils, measuring cups, small lids, and flat items that would otherwise take up space on the main racks. Most ZLINE black dishwashers include a 3rd rack as a standard feature.

Can I customize the handle finish on a black stainless steel dishwasher?

Yes. The ZLINE Autograph Edition series offers accent handles in multiple finishes including champagne bronze, polished gold, and matte black. This allows the dishwasher handle to coordinate with cabinet hardware, faucet finishes, and other kitchen fixtures for a cohesive design.
